True, Newcastle now cannot be underestimated because after they were acquired by Sheikh Arab their improvement is obvious.
In the first season they managed to get out of the relegation zone and were in the mid-table and in the second season (last season) they got better and even in the Champions League zone which of course this should be a notice for other clubs considering Newcastle is currently an underdog that must be watched out for.
This season they lost Allan Saint Maximin for going to an Arab club but they have also managed to bring in Barnes as a replacement and of course there is the name Tonali who could now be a highlighted player at Newcastle.
Newcastle United has spent a lot of money recently. And i definitely think that the money is going to show results. Obviously i am not saying that they are certainly going to be the winner of the English Premier League or the Champions League. Nevertheless, it is undeniable that the caliber of players they have procured will undeniably augment the squad's overall quality to a significant extent.
The sheer fact of their participation in the upcoming Champions League competition speaks volumes about the remarkable progress the team has achieved within a very short time. Hence, I am in complete agreement that it would be unwise for anyone, be it an individual or a club, to underestimate the magnitude of their capabilities.
Right, I agree with what you said because for now they are still developing and I think for now it is still difficult to say they will challenge the title because of course we also have to be aware that the composition of their squad also still needs a few additional players to make that happen and for the next few seasons they will still continue to overhaul until they get the perfect composition and when that happens it is possible that in the next few seasons we will see a more luxurious squad that will change its status from an underdog to a favorite club of potential champions.
But that would be great, because I feel it would be a situation where they would be more motivated because if the performance drops and they have a lot of money when the players are not doing their job well then leaving the club is a certainty because Newcastle is trying to be a strong contender.
On the other hand, this should also serve as a wake-up call for the big clubs. Newcastle today is not the Newcastle of old where they were just a complementary club but today they are really a club that could be in the next few seasons a strong candidate for the championship even though now it is still a dark horse club.

Currently, I don't think anybody will like to underestimate Newcastle next season because of their last season's performances, in which they tried to be among the Premier League's best top four last season, which made them qualify and play in the Champions League, where the best teams in different leagues meet. With this Champions League qualification, I believe people will not underestimate them. In fact, to me, Newcastle will still perform better next season, especially in Premier League competition, because they don't sell out their key players, which is what many average teams always do when they see any season they perform well, like Leicester City did in 2015/2016. Leicester was a great team that year and was supposed to continue being a great team, but when they decided to sell their key player, they became a weak team again.
But it's a risk because if Newcastle don't sell players then it's possible they'll just be running in place.
Not that with their current squad they are weak but of course they have to look for the best and at least a star player should be there to change their current status.
Although indeed to become a champion not only star players are important factors but at least with them having players above average for individual skills then it will be very good for Newcastle.
